When we put objects in sunlight, why do black objects get more heated up as compared to lustrous objects although having same size and shape?

Answer»

Black objects are the best absorbs of heat while lustrous objects are best reflectors of heat. That is why black object absorbs maximum heat that incidents on them, while lustrous object reflects maximum heat falling on them. That is why when black and shiny objects of same size are put in sunlight, the black object becomes hotter by Sun’s radiation as compared to lustrous or shiny objects.

Give reasons for formation of hot currents in sea?

Answer»

Sun rays falls directly near equator as compared to the poles. As a result ocean water at equatorial line is hotter as compared to near the poles. This water being hotter remains on the surface and flows towards polar regions. The heat that flows in such a way is called hot water current. Just opposite to it, the water around the poles is heavy due to its coldness. It flows from poles to equatorial circle. These type of currents are called cold water current.

With the help of a thermometer find out the melting point of ice and boiling point of milk

Answer»

The process of changing of a solid into liquid on heating is called melting. The temperature at which a soild completely changes into liquid state is called its melting point.

To find melting point of ice: We heat ice filled beaker kept on a tripod stand by sprit lamp. When ice is completely changed into water we measure its temperature by thermometers and note it. This temperature is called melting point of ice. We find that the melting point of ice is 0°C. When any liquid is heated, it boils and this process is called boiling and the temperature at which a liquid starts boiling is called its boiling point.

To find the boiling point of milk: We take milk in a beaker and heat it by sprit lamp on a tripod stand. When milk starts boiling, we measure the temperature of milk by thermometer. The temperature at which milk starts boiling is called boiling point of milk.

Take water in a pot. place few crystals of potassium permanganate or 4-5 beads of tea leaves in it and heat. Observe water in a pot carefully. you may find that water rises above from the centre and lowered from here and there fig. Colourful currents are set in water. why does this happen?when the bottom of the pot is heated the water molecules absorb heat and move upwards whereas the upper molecules are cool and move towards the bottom of pot.By this mechanism, the liquid molecules itself move from one place to another to transfer heat. This method of heat transfer is called convection of heatAir also convects heat. Air molecules also become lighter after absorption of heat and move bottom to the top.The upper cold molecules of air move downward to gain heat.1. Why does colourful current set up in water why does this happen?2. What is called this method of transfer of heat?3. How is heat transferred in convection method?4. By which methods heat is transferred in air?

Answer»

1. When bottom of the pot is heated the water molecules at the bottom gain heat and move up with coloured water and the colder molecules at the top move down. This is repeated so long water is heated. As a result colourful currents form set.

2. This method of transfer of heat is called convection.

3. In convection method the molecules of liquid move itself to transfer heat from one place to another.

4. In air heat is transferred by convection method.

Take three big contaiiners like a bucket, a stainless steel pot. Put ice mixed cold water in first pot A, normal water in second pot B warm water in third pot C. Now dip your left hand in pot A and the right hand in pot C. Now take out both the hands and put them immediately in pot B Fig.What do you feel? Whether the water in pot ‘B’ is hot or cold? Your left hand feels hot water and the right hand feels cold water. You are unable to decide touch is not reliable to know about the hotness or objects.Then, how do we find out how hot an object really is? The hotness or coldness of an object can be known by a characteristic called the temperature of an object. Temperature of an object is measured by a device called thermometer.we do not use the words cold or hot for an object. But we say that the object has high temperature or low temperature. The hotness or coldness of an object displays a comparative state of temperature.1. What do you feel?2. Whether the water in pot ‘B’ is hot or cold?3. What does the experiment performed in this activity shows (Proves)?4. How do we know, how much hot an object really is?5. What is temperature ?

Answer»

1. When both the hands are dipped in pot B containing normal water, left hand feels it hot while right hands feel it cool.

2. We are not able to decide whether water in pot B is hot or cold. Because at the same point of time our one hand feels it cool and other feels it hot.

3. This experiment shows that our sense of touch is not reliable to decide about the hotness or coldness of an object.

4. By measuring the temperature of an object by thermometer, we can find how hot an object is really.

5. The property of hotness or coldness of an object as compared to other objects is called temperature.

Heat water in a beaker till boiling and dip a plastic scale, pencil,steel spoon, iron nail or wire, aluminium wire as shown in fig. Wait for some time, than touch the upper end of the objects. The upper end of which of the objects have become hot? Heat flows easily in metals aluminium,iron,steel, etc. That is why the upper end of all these meterials are hot. Now, you may have understood why wood, plastic,etc. are less hot?The materials which allow heat to pass through them easily are called heat conductors. In opposition, the materials which do not allow heat to pass through them easily are called bad conductors of heat or heat insulators. For example metals like aluminium, iron and copper, etc., are conductors of heat whereas plastic, wood, ebonite, woollen cloths, insulators of heat.1. Upper end of which of the object has become hot?2. What are good conductors of heat?3. Plastic and wood on heating become less hot. Give reason why?4. Cooking utensils are made of metals and their handles are covered by materials like wood or ebonite why?5. Stainless steel pots has a copper base why?6. During summers, why is it less troublesome to walk bare foot on mat or carpets as covering of heated floor?

Answer»

1. Heat is easily transferred in the objects made of aluminium, steel spoon, iron wire, Therefore, upper end of these things have become hot.

2. Those substances in which heat is transferred easily are called good conductors of heat.

3. Materials like plastic and wood are bad conductor of heat therefore, on heating, heat is not transferred. So they become less hot.

4. Metals are good conductors of heat, food is cooked easily in the utensils made from metals. Therefore cooking utensils are made of metals which are conductor of heat, so handles of cookwares are covered with ebonite or wood to protect our hands from burning.

5. Copper is the best conductor of heat. Therefore, to cook food quickly a layer of copper is pasted at the bottom of pans made of steel.

6. Mats and carpets are bad conductor or insulator of heat, They do not absorb heat from heated floor. Therefore, it is less troublesome to walk on them during summer
